Diversified AdjustingRefers to a style of adjusting that involves specific positioning of the affected area followed by the application of a high-velocity and low-amplitude thrust to improve the mechanics of the region.

Drop Table AdjustingUtilizes a special table that has sections that fall away as the doctor applies force to a specific area. Many patients prefer this type of adjusting as the body is typically left in a neutral position

Instrument Assisted AdjustingInvolves the use of a tool that applies a very localized, light force over the area that the Chiropractor determines needs to be adjusted.

Low Level Light Therapy (Cold Laser)

Utilizes infrared light to alter tissue function in the medical and veterinarian settings. Some studies have shown increased mitochondrial production of ATP (the cells fuel), increased collagen and elastin synthesis and decreased oxidative stress, neutrophil infiltration and production of pain chemicals (prostaglandins, interleukin-1 beta) near injury sites.

Interferrential Current (IFC) and TherapeuticUltra Sound (US)

Commonly utilized physical therapy modalities that assist in pain control through muscular fatigue and stimulation of internal analgesics (IFC) or deep heating and movement of interstitial fluids (US).

Soft Tissue MassageHaving started my studies of the human body through massage therapy over a decade ago, my work is deep yet gentle with a focus on connective tissues that tie distant areas together.
